Dear SfAA Member:

Here is a quick note from the Society for Applied Anthropology to update you on some important items.

The annual meeting abstract deadline is fast approaching. If you have not yet done so, please go to http://www.sfaa.net/ and click on "annual meeting" to complete your abstracts and register for the meeting. In addition to the forms, you will find some new information regarding poster presentations.

While you are at the SfAA web site, check out the newly upgraded electronic forums. After you click on "forums" you will be taken to the electronic forum site. Here, simply click on "register" to choose a user name and password. Then, you will be ready to participate in the forums. In addition to the Student Forum, there is a new SfAA 2003 Meeting Forum where you can discuss proposed sessions and other meeting-related activities.

In the next few days, you will receive an electronic dues notice. The SfAA servers have been upgraded to provide an even higher level of security than in the past. We encourage you to use the electronic dues notice this year to renew your membership. You will find it convenient, and you will be helping the SfAA by reducing expenses.
